23 Nov Year 4, A2, Week 3
As an introduction to their new science unit ‘Electricity’, Year 4 have been looking at electrical circuits and their components. The class worked in groups to sort and classify objects around the room that could be used in circuits as conductors and insulators. They found that objects like paper clips are conductors because they allow electrical energy to flow through them, whilst things like pencils are insulators because they block electrical currents and do not allow them to pass through. Using their findings, the children then worked together to create and manipulate a series of simple circuits.
